MIDIculous for Online Piano Lessons

[@yikyungpiano]

hi sebastian! thank you for your video! I have a issue on capturing midiculous or synthesia in OBS. I'm using Mac. I can't find any of those app in OBS window capture, game capture. etc. do you happen to know how to solve this?

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

Have you been able to find a solution? I’m not sure why those would be missing but I’m happy to take a look with you If you need some help go ahead and sign up for a short session with me here > guitarkaty.com/booking/

Hi, is it possible to get some advice on using midicolous in OBS to record streaming videos. But my Midi controler doesn’t have sound coming out in OBS. I am stuck here and would appreciate some advice pls thank u? Anyone

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

Hey Patrik. Glad to help! Tell me more about the audio set up. Are you using a midi controller or a digital piano? Have you routed the audio to OBS?

[@PatrikBajger-Official]

@@sebastiangomezmusic Hi thank you for your quick response really appreciated. Well my set up is basically for Recording music I am normally using FL studio. My setup up is Scarlet Focusrite 4i4, playing out through Studio Monitors. But I just want to Record Video content about how to play songs on Piano with Midicolous. Evrything works fine my mic is connected to line one into my Interface so thats works sound is coming in to OBS no bother. But I cant get my sound from my Midi into OBS. Nor sure whether its because its Usb Midi ?

Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! It worked great....until....When I started up the keyboard and the computer the next day, everything had resized and I had to start over. Please, how do I keep it from resizing every day? (I have tried every day for a week...same result.) Thank you again!

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

Hey! This happens often when things are plugged and unplugged. So I recommend always plugging into the same port. The other reason could be if you're using Logitech cameras and don't have LogiTune open. I find that's one anoying thing about logitech cameras in OBS

[@PFAMusic-v4j]

@@sebastiangomezmusic You are SO KIND to reply! I figured out that it is a screen resolution problem. I have two monitors. If I open Midiculous with the second monitor off, it re-sizes in OBS. BUT if I turn on the monitor and THEN open Midiculous, it works. (and I must close Midiculous before I turn off the second monitor - or the next day it is re-sized). Rather annoying, but do-able! Thank you very much for your time.

[@rrvleeuwen]

Hello! You showed briefly a boom arm or something similar that you have setup above your keyboard for the overhead view. Would you mind sharing which product that is and where I can purchase? Thanks so much!

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

[@silviomp]

Thank you so much. This week I was trying to do this, I just tried to decrease the opacity, but I didn't try to use change gamma and saturation. Thanks a lot!!

[@zadithoflynn7120]

Thank U. My midicilous pro cannot find any plug-in. And then, I cannot play any New instruments. Can U help me please?

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

Hey Zaditho! I don't use midiculous to play external plug-ins so I'm not sure how to address your specific issue. But I'd be happy to jump on a call with you and see how I can guide you to a solution. You can sign up for an open spot on my calendly link: calendly.com/sgomezmusic

Great video Sebastian, glad to see this trick has been working out. Totally love how you played with the filters in OBS to make it even clearer. I've been using those setting since we talked about them! Also glad to see you've been picking up your banjo more often, love seeing the content!

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

Thanks Austin! Glad to hear that helped man! I’d love to pick your brain soon and learn more about your online teaching process. Ha and thanks! Banjo has been incredible fun to learn. I only know one song so far but I know that one really well now

[@thepianostudioofdr.richard6483]

Superbly done, Sebastian! You’re an inspiration to us all. I can’t wait to get my setup going like yours! Thanx a million for taking the time to make this video. It will make things easier!

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

My pleasure! And thank you for all your support, Richard!

[@GospelMusicians]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

Thank you for creating this awesome software! Still looking into how to make this work for guitar. Any suggestions?

[@GospelMusicians]

@@sebastiangomezmusic Works the same way. Get a Jamstik and make sure you Put MIDIculous in Standard Midi Map. We have a video on our site for Bass.

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

@@GospelMusicians I have looked into the Fishman Triple Play wireless pickup. Would also work? I also tried the JamOrigins MIDI Guitar system which works though an instrument cable but MIDIculous doesn’t register what string you’re playing on. I did see the bass video but I didn’t know what hex pickup he was using. I know the other one available is the Roland GK pickups but those require the whole guitar synth system.

[@GospelMusicians]

@@sebastiangomezmusic The MIDI Guitar mus support Standard MIDI Mapping; otherwise, there is no way for the software to determine what string is being played. We tested our app out on the Jamstik and it works perfectly. If you try to use any other system which converts Audio to MIDI, MIDiculous cannot pick up the exact string.

Thank you!

Very useful to me, thanks for sharing

[@braxtenbrix8604]

Great 💯 Can u suggest which stand is best for Webcam to Achieve overhead view?

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

I love these K&M boom stands:amzn.to/3UAUmHy They're very sturdy and reliable. But any stand will do. Tabletop stands are harder to work with since I don't think they'll get the same range as a floor boom stand

[@androgynastronaut]

You ROCK. Thanks for this.

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

Thank you so much! Let me know if there's any other topics I can cover for ya.

@@chinnyokonkwo4818 this might be something to take up with Gosple Musicians since it is their product. Good luck!

May I ask what kind of webcam are you using to film the piano from above?

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

Of course! I'm using a Logitech Brio set to 2K resolution amzn.to/4fZRxrY

What camera is used for the overhead shot of the piano?

I’m using a Logitech Brio amzn.to/4azaCh1

[@pianopoly6219]

​@@sebastiangomezmusicplease did you connect the overhead camera to the laptop/computer?

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

@@pianopoly6219yes. If you plan to use OBS your camera needs to be connected to your computer

thank U. When i try to insert midiculous in my OBS it doesn't work. Do i have to connect the piano with midiculous first???? help me, because midiculous is not appearing in my OBS

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

Hi Memphys! Yes, you'll want to make sure your piano is on and connected to your computer before launching MIDIculous. If that doesn't fix it it might be something else. I'd be happy to jump on a Zoom call and help you out! calendly.com/sgomezmusic
